Coming to USA on employer's B2 visa and then B2 to H1B change of status

[pinnamur]

I've visited USA on my employer's B1/B2 visa recently and it is valid upto Oct, 2012. Also, my H1B work permit is in process currently. My husband is already working on H1B.

* Can I come to US on my B2 visa (sponsored by my husband) and then, change the status from B2 to H1 in October ? Or, Is it safe to come to US only on H4 visa ?

* Will there any problem for H4 stamping when H1 is already in process ?

B2 is never sponsored. You are not chattel. Get the H4 visa and come over. No problems per se.

Your best bet is to have them convert to PP and then get a visa and come over up to 10 days before the start date. OR COME OVER IN h1 STATUS INITIALLY.
